The challenge is, if GFR is a reasonable drivable distance, their rumored alliance partner is likely not. Getting to Woodbridge or Haymarket 4x per week from northern Fairfax would be brutal.

Agree but the advertised pathway tends to attract stronger players to the RL teams than if there’s no pathway.

There was a pathway with NVA and I think you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone at GFR who noticed a positive impact.

The directors at NVA surely noted a positive impact in their mortgage payments

+1

We’re also at failing feeder club for a local ECNL club. Never considered GFR since they have no allianced pathway but we may have to give them a second look.

Valor?

It wouldn't. Bethesda would make more sense and is more likely.

Bethesda makes more geographic sense? Bethesda is a false flag. VDA + GFR is in the works.

Wow. So dumb.

Don't shoot the messenger. It's happening folks. No need to get mad about it. It will be a net positive for all involved.

What role has PA had with any of this? This smells of the existing, failing regime making a big move before she gets the keys.

This is bullshit. PA is starting Monday and doubtful RS pulled off anything like this. My understanding is he's had his hands tied from making any club decisions or handling of money for months by the BoD.
